The national winners of the Migrating Landscapes competition were recently announced to a crowd of 250 people at the opening reception of the National Exhibition of Migrating Landscapes at the Winnipeg Art Gallery.

Special thanks to the national jury of Eleanor Bond, Ian Chodikoff, Anne Cormier, Bruce Kuwabara, and John Patkau.

Together with organizers and curators 5468796 Architecture + Jae-Sung Chon, these 18 winning entries will form Canada’s official entry at the 2012 Venice Biennale in Architecture (August 29 – November 25).

The winners have already been the focus of several news sources, in the Toronto Star, and twice in the Winnipeg Free Press.

The announcement wraps up the hugely successful seven-city Canadian tour of Migrating Landscapes. Now the young architectural “Team Canada” urgently needs your help to get to Venice! Please help Canada’s national champions with a donation of $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000 or more! All funds will go directly to supporting Migrating Landscapes in Venice, including exhibition transportation and installation costs, promotion, reception and team travel costs.
